For your riding pleasure NoVA CBG presents: Tuesday Night Rides (TNR) B-Group Edition - Hains Point

We'll start in Shirlington and head east on the Four Mile Run Trail and then head north on the Mt. Vernon trail. We cross the 14th Street bridge and head up Ohio Drive to say "Hi" to Dr. MLK. We will then run back down Ohio Drive to do a loop on Hains Point. Once done, we'll head back to Shirlington the way we came.

This is a NO DROP ride so you will not be left behind but you are expected to try to keep an B-Group level pace (no faster than 15 mph).

Ride Level Chart
++++++++++++++++++++
NoVA CBG tries to accommodate all levels of cyclists by offering different types/levels of rides. We just ask that you come to the ride that suits your current riding ability the best.

Introductory Level: If you haven't ridden a bike in a number of years (or are uncertain of your abilities on a bicycle).
Beginner Level: You can ride for 10+ miles at a pace of 10+ to 12+ mph with potentially minor hills involved.
Medium Level: You can ride for 20+ miles at a pace of 13+ to 15+ mph with potentially moderate hills involved.
Advanced Level: You can ride for 20++ miles at a pace of 15+ mph with potentially major hills involved.

Both Medium and Advanced Levels might require handling various challenges such as reading cue sheets, using a Garmin or navigation app, night riding, out of town travel, or any other odd cycling situations.

An RSVP of 'YES' is your digital signature and means you have read and understood MEETUP.com's:

"Terms of Service : Section 6. Release " found at https://www.meetup.com/terms/
NOVA-CBG's "Assumption of Risk Agreement" found @ https://www.meetup.com/novacbg/pages/1942951/NOVA-CBGWaiver/

Helmets are required to participate in all NOVA-CBG rides. NO exceptions. All riders ride at their own risk and with the understanding that cycling is an inherently dangerous activity. When coming to the meetup you do so voluntarily and are ready and able to participate in the ride as described under the conditions of the day.
Be on time for the "pre-ride" preparation. If you do not attend the pre-ride preparation you will not be allowed to participate on the ride. Again, no exceptions.
